Whoa... Steady on Al. That's sure as hell one quick way to seriously p*ss people off on the forum (particularly Buffo who I think has been incredibly restrained during this conversation, he's one of the most helpful guys here and will move heaven and earth to help newbies when they're stuck). These are the very people who will be there at your side to help when you have problems, it pays to be nice . You HAVE to try and help yourself here, this forum has ALL the information you'll need to begin to put your project together, but why should everyone just drop everything to help you out when you've indicated that you can't be bothered to do a bit of searching. To be quite honest if you aren't able to spend a bit of time searching the forum you're going to struggle to find the time to build a projector. Perhaps you may be better buying an 'off the shelf' one after all.
Well that kind of proves my point. You obviously got away with your mistakes. Someone in the future might not be so lucky, a reflection from a scanner mirror and a lifetime of blindness is a high price to pay.
Again, there's a wealth of information within the past posts on laser safety.
As I see it the knowledge burried in the posts on here is great for trouble shooting but not so great as a building guide given its diffuse nature.
Not true, you REALLY need to try and find some time to search a little and all will become clear
Above all, be polite, do some research and THEN ask questions, we do want to help you out - honest
